they dont respond.
Once u have clicked where u have to, and paid the fee, it is generally processed then, and the expiry date on sms should change to show next 4 years.
If they have any questions, they will write to u, but otherwise they wont contact.

Please don't type in CAPITALS, it is the same as SHOUTING.

like i said before, they dont inform.
Once u pay the fee and in time, its renewed.. Unless they want to check something, they wont contact.

If UKVI has any question about the renewal, your company will be contacted. I think they also send an email these days to notify your sponsor that the licence has been renewed successfully or otherwise. That's why they advise sponsors to renew 3 months before expiration
I am not a lawyer and do not claim to be one. All my comments here are based on my opinions, experience and interpretation of the appropriate UKVI guidance documents and immigration rules.

tier 2 home office visit

Post by bunty245 » Fri Sep 08, 2017 11:07 am

hi everyone ,

recently we got visit from home office regarding tier2 licence renewal . first he visited us on 31-oct but my level 1 user was on holidays so he said dont worry will visit again. anyway he said wana interview me as he did. he asked few question from my MD and and said will back on 4th September. he arrived at 9oclock on monday and started interviewing my level1 SMS user;-

1. he Asked question about one of our ex-employee who applied for tier2 visa in 2014 and refused . after that he left country. he said why you did not reported his visa got refused on SMS. as he wasn't on tier2 yet so we never counted him in tier2 status. but he said thats serious.

2.he asked question about RLMT as we both were exempted from it but some our lawyer still performed. we provided him job centre details with rlmt. but he wanted all CVs with note. we said him we were exempted but he said you performed so i wana check.we dont had cv from 4 year ols time.

3.he asked about my degree and work i have done in last 4 years on tier2 visa. how i developed business. he said email me all document whatever you think relevant to your case and left . he met with he saluted me in funny way and shakes hand and said good-luck.

please anyone suggest what outcome you think i am very scared everything else was fine everything genuine please anyone any comment...? :cry:
